Synopsis
He was a painter who could barely hold a brush. He had to move his entire body to mix his colors. Yet William T. Trego (1858-1909) was a prize-winning artist with an international reputation, and his highly detailed and powerful battle scenes from the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War were widely exhibited and critically acclaimed during the late nineteenth century. Partially paralyzed by polio as a child, Trego never experienced the horrors of war, but his uncanny ability to portray battle from the point of view of fighting men and horses was much admired. The first full-length study of Trego's life and art, So Bravely and So Well places him in the context of both his world and the art of his time. Previously unexplored original source materials as well as studies of his surviving work have enhanced and altered what has been known thus far of Trego's career. In addition to a full discussion of his history paintings, this volume explores his largely unknown work as a sculptor, illustrator, and genre painter. The book also tells the story of the artist's remarkable personal life: his fierce determination to support himself, failed romances, and ultimately tragic end. Distributed for the James A. Michener Art Museum., Well known in the late nineteenth century for his military history paintings, William T. Trego created highly detailed and powerful battle scenes in spite of hands paralyzed by polio. Here Joseph P. Eckhardt explores the heroic art and tragic life of this nearly forgotten American painter and places both in the context of his time.

    Very responsive and honest. Accurate description, disclosed and posted flaws of flaws in the slipcase, unlike some sellers who post false and misleading descriptions. Responded to my offer within an hour, even though I sent it at 9 pm. The books were packed carefully in bubble wrap, packing material and a sturdy box, and arrived in two days. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend this seller when purchasing collectible books.

    William Thomas trego had a hard life with his physical disabilities but he became a great artist despite this. I'm sorry he had such a tragic ending.

    I am William Thomas Trego's 5th cousin. I saw this book about him when it first was published a few years ago. I didn't buy it then but this offer on eBay was great so I bought it. It's a beautiful book filled with his art. I haven't started reading it yet.
